While off:
- Fully click and release to turn the light on. It will go to the
first mode or the last-used mode, depending on whether you enabled
mode memory.
While on:
- Short tap: Do a short (less than 0.5s) half-press to go forward to
the next mode.
- Med tap: Do a medium (0.5s to 1.5s) half-press to go backward to
the previous mode.
- Long tap: Do a long (longer than 1.5s) half-press to reset to the
first mode (if mode memory is turned off).
- Or fully click and release to turn the light off.
Hidden modes:
- Go backward from moon to access the hidden modes. They are, in
order:
- Turbo (just like the regular turbo)
- Tactical strobe (10 Hz)
- Battery check / beacon mode
(each blink represents about 25% of a full charge)
0 blinks: < 1% full (< 3.0V)
1 blink : 1% to 25% full (3.0V to 3.5V)
2 blinks: 25% to 50% full (3.5V to 3.8V)
3 blinks: 50% to 75% full (3.8V to 4.0V)
4 blinks: 75% to 100% full (4.0V to 4.2V)
5 blinks: > 100% full (> 4.2V)
- Biking flasher (2-level stutter beacon, 1 Hz)
Configuration options:
- Short tap rapidly a bunch of times (15+ taps, or until the light
stops turning on) to enter soft config mode.
The way it works is the light will blink twice for each option,
then pause for a bit before moving to the next option. Turn the
light off between the two blinks to toggle that option.
The available options are:
- Mode group: 7 modes or 4 modes:
Group 1: moon, low, med1, med2, high1, high2, turbo
Group 2: low, med, high, turbo
- Mode memory toggle
- If CONFIG_STARS is defined, you can ground pin 3 of the MCU to
enable mode memory instead of using config mode. This can often
be done by soldering a star on the spring side of the driver, if
your driver supports that. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to make a
solder bridge from pin 3 (mode mem toggle) to pin 4 (ground). Or
even just wedge a piece of metal between the two pins.
Other details to note:
- Low-voltage protection will progressively step down the output at
about 2.8V, and the light will shut itself off when even the
lowest level gets below 2.8V.
- The default turbo step-down is 45 seconds.
- When turbo steps down to high, a short tap will push it back up to
turbo or a medium tap will step down further, even if you got to
turbo by going backward from moon. The step-down effectively
moves it from the "hidden" turbo back to the non-hidden turbo.
- A short tap from any hidden mode will return to the lowest mode.
